Five Food Finds about Ice Cream:

• An average dairy cow can produce enough milk in her lifetime to make a little over 9,000 gallons of ice cream.

• A cow has only 1 stomach with 4 areas where food is digested: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and the abdomen.

• The udder of a cow can hold between 25-50 lbs. of milk.

• In the U.S., all ice cream needs to have a minimum of 10% milkfat if it is to be labeled “ice cream”. This includes custard based (French Style) ice creams.

• Sorbet, has no milk at all!
